Get IT Help During Move-In: Ellicott, Governors and Goodyear

Daniel Heuskin (UB Student, Class of 2017) is originally
from Long Island, NY. He is studying English at UB with aspirations
to become a teacher or writer. In his free time, he enjoys playing
bass guitar, doing nature photography, writing songs and
reading.

During move-in on August 25 and 26, 2016, the UBIT Help Center
will be available in the Ellicott Complex, Governors and South
Campus to offer assistance as students set-up their devices.

Knowledgeable IT staff will be ready to help incoming students
with the move-in process by answering questions, solving tech
problems and providing helpful information on services such as
software, unlimited, secure file storage through UBbox and getting
connected to the Internet. In addition, free earbuds, microfiber
cleaning cloths (perfect for device screens and eyeglasses!), USB
sticks and pens will be available.

On North Campus, there will be a tent outside of Spaulding Quad
in the Ellicott Complex and a help site inside Governors’
Lehman Hall. On South Campus, the UBIT Help Center will have a tent
directly across from Goodyear Hall.

Teams of UBIT Help Center staff will also be roaming residence
halls throughout move-in to assist students with their technology
needs. Staff are available to troubleshoot problems with connecting
smartphones, TVs and gaming consoles in addition to computers and
tablets. If you see a Help Center crew in green t-shirts passing
by, don’t hesitate to stop them and ask for help.

On Friday, August 26, UBIT will participate in the University
Resource Fair in the Student Union from 1:30 and 3:30 pm. Students
are invited to stop by and ask technology or IT-related
questions.

If you miss our tents, roving teams, and resource fair table,
don’t worry! Calls to (716) 645-3542 and walk-in are welcome
at the UBIT Help Center in the Lockwood 2nd Floor Cybrary (North
Campus) and Abbott 1st Floor Health Sciences Library (South Campus)
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday starting August 20.
Our Lockwood location is also open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m.

As fall semester kicks into gear, UBIT is preparing for the
launch of the UB Tech Squad. Students will soon be able schedule
hands-on assistance that comes directly to residence halls or
on-campus apartments. Stay tuned to the UBIT website for
updates.

Information Technology should be helpful, not
problematic—especially during your busy transition to life on
campus. We wish you the best of luck this academic year and please
don’t hesitate to call, stop by or submit a
ticket online if you have questions.
